The patch is right though the log entry and comment are perhaps misleading. The effect of the patch is to restore the compiler behavior to what it was before. What it was before includes cases of producing .eh_frame and cases of not producing it. The default behavior of a gcc-4.4 that was built against new enough binutils has diverged, so that some situations that before produced no .eh_frame now do produce one. -fno-dwarf2-cfi-asm tells gcc to behave like it did before (which is also how 4.4 behaves when built against an old enough binutils).
Thanks, Roland
